Well, I'm off to get some other things done...it will probably start raining as soon as I go out

Yup......I was right, less than 5 mins after I left the skies opened up. I also managed to hit every red light, aaaand.....almost fumigated myself with a drive-by skunk roadkill.....note to self: next time you decide to go out, don't... and, don't even bother buying a lottery ticket. lol
